Akon Says "You're Welcome" To Rappas Turnt Sangas

"As an artist, depending on who you are, you should never be in a situation where you feel threatened by another artist," As told to MTV recently "If anything, I embrace the fact that they're doing it. Music changes every year. I'm just happy [about] the fact that people are jumping on what we're already doing. I look at it like a tribute to what we're already doing, and I look at it like a compliment, really."

"I say 'you're welcome' every time I hear [rappers singing]...A melody has a way of describing [words], 'cause of the emotions that come with melody. Melody brings it out better than a bland vocal. It's easier to relate."

He also noted that he doesn't see the trend stopping anytime soon.
"I definitely think it will continue and grow. Hip-hop grew out of its element; it's literally a lifestyle now."

The fact that he says "You're welcome" is not a dig at Kanye West. Akon made it a point to compliment West on his latest project.

"With Kanye, you never know what to expect. He's not afraid to experiment. He's always had that open mind. That's how you have to be as an artist."

Listen Here

Kanye West was on the Def Jam conference call today for short period of time. He took a break from a listening party he's got going on right now in the UK to talk to us American DJ's about 808's and Heartbreak, the album release date and such.

Speaking on 808's and Heartbreak, Kanye says, "Niggaz have given up making music on a Quincy Jones level...When I listen to Jimi Hendrix and The Stones and Lenny Kravitz...I'm trying to push my craft to a level where no nigga ever made it to...."

"For those hating cause I'm not rapping right now...Thank you for letting me sit on my therapuetic couch and get this off."

When asked about moving his album release date up he says, "The label moved the album up to get more Thanksgiving sales. I had nothing to do with that! I'm confident with it!"

Kanye West - "Anyway"

Need your swagger back? Go to chuuch!

Since swagger is apparently at an all time low due to the economy being so bad, I figure the one person people will always turn to to get their swagger back is the Lawd! All I know is that I've been logging on every Sunday morning to hear what Bishop Eddie Long is talking about! Praise Gawd! Well, it got me thinking about some of these hip hop songs about Jesus. I'm talking about the good ones that actually make you feel good when you listen to 'em as opposed to wanting to commit suicide. Not the ones that guilt trip you into thinking you have to listen because it's a church song or they just plain suck. No, not those.

Kanye West: "Jesus Walks" of course.
